Though there will likely always be a place for manned security guard patrols, AI can be invaluable to make them more effective and reduce the need for so much manpower by automating routine tasks. AI integrated into CCTV systems, along with facial recognition and video analytics, can analyze patterns and detect anomalies that might be missed by human patrols. AI-powered patrols mean faster detection and response times as well as cost savings on manpower.
Using AI-powered tools to enhance security and assist security guards in their duties is only effective if there is sufficient training and continuous learning for guards on how the AI functions. As such, it is vital that clients choose security companies that provide guards ample training on the AI-powered tools they use.
AI is playing a greater and greater role in security solutions around the world as people start to see the great benefits it offers. Below are some innovative examples of AI-driven security solutions in use today.
Security companies such as Guardforce Thailand are now offering a range of robotic security systems to enhance their clients’ security measures. These multi-functional, fully automated robots take advantage of advances in AI, IoT, and self-navigation technologies. They are used in various scenarios, including as customer service ambassadors and even fumigators, but as patrol robots, they are an invaluable addition to clients’ security solutions to perform automated patrols day or night, and in adverse weather conditions or potentially dangerous environments.
A standard CCTV is a useful deterrent but when paired with cutting-edge AI, video analytics and facial recognition technology, it becomes an autonomous security guard in its own right. Able to quickly identify or even predict incidents and alert guards to respond immediately, this powerful combination can be used for surveillance, advanced object tracking, access control, dwell and loitering, people, queue management and demographic analysis, and much more.
A smart car park is an AI-driven automated car park management solution with licence plate recognition and IoT sensors integrated with various components such as CCTV, gate barriers, parking signages, and kiosks. The result is improved customer experience, safety, and a reduction in the need for costly (and sparce) human manpower.
Humans still remain an important part of security solutions, but by harnessing the power of AI, the effectiveness and efficiency can be greatly improved as well as enjoying a cost saving on manpower. AI is undoubtably the future of security guarding.
